LightFab: Fabrication by laser light

LightFab GmbH is a new technology company in the field of laser technology. We developed the basis of our technologies at the chair of laser technology of RWTH Aachen University located in the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen, Germany and started LightFab in 2013.

We produce micro structured glass components as well as the micro scanner to fabricate the components by laser light - the "LightFab". The founders (Dipl.-Phys. Martin Hermans, Dipl. Ing. Jürgen Ortmann and Dr. rer.nat. Jens Gottmann) have expert knowledge with the SLE-process, the development and the operation of the micro scanners and outstanding experience in software development to control scanner and laser systems. Those are the basis for our innovative products.

Our mission is to enable the machining of transparent materials with high power ultrafast lasers for diversified applications. LightFab - the 3D fabrication by laser light.

We are happy that our LightFab 3D Printer is the winner of the
Prism Award 2016
in the category industrial lasers.
